Hello steepster friends! Sorry I’ve been such a slacker for so long, thus is the life of a successful musician, right?

Anyway, I’m loading up a box for my tea sister Sil (finally) and some of the teas I’m sending her have been drank, but not reviewed. So I’m gonna try to make up for that by drinking them all! First up, 10AM Morning Cleanse, by The Tea Spot. I’m writing this review on Random Steepings (which I actually created, back in the day) because there is no heading for this one, and it’s no longer being offered on their website. I got this sample ‘awhile back’, and am just now sampling it. It’s a blend of Black, Puerh, Rooibox, Cardamom, ginger, Cinnamon. Although it’s not overly remarkable, it’s not bad. Kind of a light chai, and although I rarely sweeten my teas, this one is happier with just a touch of maple syrup.

Bio

I’m so excited to have found this community! I’m a self-employed Harpist (acoustic & electric – Originals, Classical, Rock, Jazz, etc) & Singer/Songwriter. My days & nights revolve around teaching at home, playing gigs, gardening,& fixing awesome food to eat. My schedule is different everyday, but I just go with the flow, & I sip a lot of tea!

My love of Tea began with Herbals back in the 70’s. One of my favorites was a licorice blend from House of Hezekiah, an old tea shop in Kansas City. There was also a tea with mint, rose petals, chamomile, etc called Nuclear Casual Tea.
In the 80’s I gave up caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, (& a few illicit substances…), and brewed medicinal blends & tinctures to support 4 pregnancies (all children born at home). In the 90’s my love affair with green teas began when I discovered ‘The Republic of Tea’. Their beautiful teas & packaging inspired my original song, “TeaMind”, from my CD “Zen Breakfast”. If you’d like to hear the song for free, drop by my website.

In general, I drink my teas straight, but occasionally I add a pinch of Stevia & maybe some coconut or almond milk (I’m allergic to dairy, gluten, & various other things & avoid most sweets.)

I’ve explored a variety of teas:
Whites tend to be a little bland…sorry
Oolongs – wonderfully sensual
Roobios – I’m not a fan in general
Puehr – a fairly new direction for me
I’m not a huge fan of flavored teas, but I do make exceptions, & I’ll try just about anything once.

And Black Tea, Oh how I love thee!!
I am on a quest for the most wonderful breakfast cup! I will find you, my Love!
